This will help the local tourist industry. Two separate sighting of sightings off St Ives. Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the Water. Any Shark experiences anyone?
I had a face to face encounter with a White Tip Reef Shark... but that was last year... and in the Maldives... and it was decidedly disinterested in biting chunks out of me.
Almost certainly a basking shark - totally harmless (unless you are plankton)
Oceanic white tips probably kill more people than any other shark, including the bull shark. They normally swim in groups and are the sharks responsible for polishing off the victims of capsized boats or plane crashes because they are quite abundant in open water, and are rarely seen anywhere near land. They were the sharks that scoffed about 1,000 American soldiers off the coast of Egypt after some famous naval battle in WW2 - when USS Indianapolis was sunk.
It must be a concern that a OWT has been spotted so close to land, as presumably this points to a lack of food in the open water?
Yeah I did that in the Galapagosd, with 3 of them. They gave me this look of "Oh here come the f***ing humans staring at us again, lets sod off to deeper water where they'll stop bothering us".
I had shark for dinner in thailand.....it was abit bland.
